Advancing from the Qi Refining Seventh Layer to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer did not truly count as a breakthrough in realm.
From the seventh to the ninth layer, they were three minor stages within the Qi Refining Late-Stage. With each layer broken through, one's magic power increased by no more than twenty or thirty percent.
But from early Qi Refining to mid-stage, or from mid-stage to late-stage, one's magic power surged by a great margin, almost doubling.
The Foundation Establishment Realm above was the same in principle.
Two days later, once his magic power had stabilized, Lan Chang'an walked out of the Secret Chamber.
The Mystic Water Turtle rubbed against the lingering aura on his body, its four limbs scurrying quickly as it followed him, its movements somewhat simple and foolish.
Now, more than ten years after hatching, the Mystic Water Turtle's cultivation had fully stepped into the ranks of early first-rank spirit beasts.
In size, it still fell a good bit short of its true cultivation.
The Mystic Water Turtle was skilled at concealing its aura. As long as it did not casually encounter a capable Beast Tamer, ordinary cultivators would find it hard to see through the clues.
Squeak squeak!
The Earth Rock Rat eagerly carried in a letter, darting in from the courtyard.
Lan Chang'an took the letter. It had been sent by Li Erqing.
In the letter, Li Erqing expressed his longing. If not for his wife and children stopping him, he would have liked to make a trip to Yellow Dragon Immortal City.
Around a year ago, Li Erqing's cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
With no bottleneck in the minor realm, his heart knot untied, and with the medicinal pill resources rewarded by the clan, Li Erqing's cultivation had advanced steadily.
